Waive Tax/Insurance Escrow to Lower DTI?

Brian Acosta

Looking at how to improve my DTI for next purchase and noticed that the mortgage payment on my credit report includes full escrow (taxes/insurance) which is significant at $1,200. Since its on my credit report it will be used for DTI calculations.

If I manage to get my mortgage company to waive escrow, and the payment reported to credit bureau decreases, will other banks ask me to provide them proof of the tax/insurance payment amount when calculating DTI ratios?
